I don't think your car has a transmission check light. It's a check engine light. Check the FAQ on how to check the code.

If the car died while running the sea foam, reset the computer and start it up again. If it still shows an error, you'll need to go into more detail.

I cannot immagine pouring liqued or foam into my throttle body. Am I understanding that correctly? It just does not seem right...but I have never used seafoam either.

Yeah check the code; it could be a fouled o2 sensor or spark plug.

Some people suck it up through the throttle body; some through a vacuum line. I don't know why people started using that crap on their Hondas/Acuras anyways. If you use an additive on a car and the car throws a check engine light afterwards, how's that any good. Don’t our manuals specifically state not to use additives?

Go to the engine bay fuse box and pull the 7.5A backup fuse. Let it sit for 30-60 seconds and pop it back in. Start the car and don't touch the gas.

Did you even find out what the check engine light is?

the light comes on every time you do (from waht I have heard) and so it is because you pour it in untill it dies, and then car thinks that there is a problem with the motor, so yeah but if there were somthing actually wrong the light will come back on after you reset it.
